Sig Kilo 2400 or Vortex Ranger 1800

[liberty2701]

I can purchase the Sig for $1350 or the Vortex for $350. The vortex has the lifetime warranty which is fantastic. I know these are different animals but what do you suggest?

 

[MarkCO]

Always SIG. The Kilo2000 is better than the Ranger 1800, so climbing the SIG ladder, you are gaining features over the Kilo2000, all of which smoke the Vortex.

The only worry is I believe the Sig warranty is only 5 years on electronics.

 

[MarkCO]

I'd still take a Kilo2000 over a Ranger 1800 for the same money. I figure in 5 years, there will be something better anyway.

Get the Kilo 2200 instead of the 2000. I have one, much better. The 2400 has the AB ballistics built in. If that were in my budget that’s what I’d be running.

The kilo 2200 is about $450.

I had problems with two 2000 units. Also I believe the specs changed on the 2000.

Which is why I buy my Sigs at Brownelles. Lifetime warranty. That saved my butt with the 2000s.

Does Brownells do that on all items?

Does Brownells do that on all items?

I think you have to have the Prime Account, which I do. It is like $49/year and then free shipping and some special sales, plus lifetime warranty. And, well, they support the sport too, so there is that.

The Kilo2000 is showing discontinued on Brownells, and FWIW, I should have suggested the 2200. So in agreement with Max, I will do that now.

Does Brownells do that on all items?

Yes. No prime account needed. They mention it all the time in their ads.

And, we won't bog you down in endless paperwork. Your complete satisfaction with each and every product we sell is what's most important to us.”

Brownells has really taken care of me. I had problems with improper packing and Fed Ex “Sure Post” or as I call it “Damian Post“ and they fixed both for me.

I just came across at Brownells Bushnell ELITE 1 MILE ARC CONX RANGEFINDER. Looks interesting at$299.

 

[MarkCO]

Slimeball stole a Brownells package off my porch. Called FedEx and Brownells. Brownells replaced the 4 stolen items he pocketed after I chased him down and got some of them and had 6 of Arvada's finest chasing him through the fields. Prime FTW.

 

[MarkCO]

Bushnell not even close to the Vortex, don't go backwards.

 

[liberty2701]

Ok. That is why I ask.

This one also looks interesting. Leupold RX-2800 TBR/W.
You can expect the RX-2800i TBR/W to range reflective targets out to 2,800yds, trees out to 2,300yds and a deer out to 1,700yds. Thanks for choosing Leupold!
That is what Leupold states. I wonder if that is realistic. Street price is about$500.
